Kawasaki 2026 KX250 and KX450 models announced

The much anticipated unveiling of the Kawasaki 2026 adult KX models for Europe has manifested itself on two machines in the shape of models in the 250cc and 450cc categories.

Entering the MX2 class with the official Kawasaki team this year, popular French rider. Mathis Valin has impressed in 2025 on the KRT KX250-SR machine based around the standard model available in Kawasaki dealerships. That race development, innovative engineering and cutting-edge technology flows into 2026 providing an ideal platform for professional and amateur racer alike incorporating such features as power modes and Kawasaki Traction Control. There is also a symmetrically aligned intake and exhaust to deliver strong over-run and smooth low-rpm torque characteristics.

At the pinnacle of the KX offering in 2026 is the mighty KX450, a machine that in its SR form has propelled Kawasaki Racing Team rider, Romain Febvre, to red plate status across a slew of races during the 2025 MXGP season. With a chassis optimised in terms of rigidity balance this has contributed to increased front-end feel evidenced in outstanding MXGP performances across the season. In turn, this translates to improved cornering feel in a wide range of conditions. Add Brembo brake components, Showa suspension plus ODI Lock-on grips and the attention to detail is there for all to see. Additionally, the integration of smartphone connectivity allows riders to connect with their machine to adjust engine mapping directly from a handheld device.

Join the green team in 2026 and enjoy the precision of machine control and performance that comes as a direct result of Kawasaki racing on the world stage.

Both bikes are available in Lime Green, with the KX250 costing £7,799 (available from the end of July) and the KX450 costing £8,399 (available from late 2025)
